AlamoWater, Filox-R™ High-Performance Media
Part of Wrekin Water's premium Resin and Media Range, Filox-R™ is the ultimate solution for removing iron, hydrogen sulphide (H₂S), and manganese from your water supply—without the need for chemical oxidizers. With unmatched filtration efficiency, longevity, and high-flow performance, Filox-R™ is the superior choice for both domestic and commercial water treatment systems.
Why Choose Filox-R™?
1. Powerful Contaminant Removal
Filox-R™ delivers outstanding removal of iron, manganese, and H₂S—common culprits behind staining, odour, and health concerns. Its catalytic media reacts naturally with dissolved oxygen, eliminating the need for additional chemicals during regeneration.
2. Exceptional Flow Rates
Engineered for high-demand systems, Filox-R™ offers a service flow rate of 28 m/hr and a backwash rate of 36 m/hr, making it the highest flow rate iron removal media on the market today.
3. Environmentally Friendly
Unlike Greensand and Birm, Filox-R™ doesn’t require chemical additives, making it a greener, safer, and cost-effective alternative with less maintenance and waste.
4. Rugged and Long-Lasting
Boasting a density of 2 Kg/litre, this heavy-duty media is built for durability. It provides a longer service life, reducing the frequency of replacement and keeping long-term costs low.
5. Tailored for Precise Water Conditions
-
Iron removal: Our recommendation is to achieve a Minimum pH of 7
-
Manganese removal: pH of 8+ and a dissolved oxygen level of at least 15% of the total iron/manganese content
-
Freeboard: 30%–50% to allow efficient backwashing
